A new study just published... From Bob Hughes newsletter Momentum a Bill and Melinda Gates funded program: Dear friends, One in five students in the United States has learning or attention challenges. That includes students with specific identified learning disabilities, diagnosed ADHD, or related disorders that impact learning. A new report from the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) reminds us of the challenges these students face in school and beyond: 1 in 3 are held back at least once Suspension rates are twice that of their typical peers Drop out rates are three times that of their peers College enrollment is half the rate of typical peers, and of those, only 4 in 10 complete college Additionally, we see a compounding effect when disability intersects with race and class. Fortunately, we’re learning more about how to address these challenges. Here are some of the report’s findings, including: 8 key instructional practices 3 critical mindsets that have a positive influence on students with disabilities Role-specific actions for school leaders, teachers, teacher preparation leaders, families, caregivers, and policymakers We need to learn more about these students and their needs. In the next few months, we will be funding networks of charter schools that serve Black, Latinx, and low-income students to help build their capacity to improve outcomes for their students with disabilities. We are excited about this emerging work and are grateful to our partners who continue to help us shape it. Regards, Bob Hughes @BobHughesK12
